What Thanksgiving traditions do you love most?

I have been asking myself what I want my kids to remember about Thanksgiving and this is what I've come up with:

We all have stuff that doesn't come easily for us. I labeled myself "Bad at Math" early on. I also didn't consider myself the most athletic, but turn on some music and I forget anyone is even watching, I have to dance. I decided against a career in Nursing because I thought the Math and Science would be too much of a struggle. I decided on Journalism because the assignments were easy for me. What have you convinced yourself you are not good at?

Clean up, but make time for play!

Last week the dreaded No School November fun started. The boys didn't go to school on Thursday and Friday. This week Erik is out of school everyday by 11:15 a.m., but Casey is not. Next week they have no school.

After 9 p.m., Mommie Dearest visits

I have this alarm inside my body that goes off at 9 p.m. It is the "I don't want to be responsible for anyone, anymore!" alarm. I have had years of walking up and down the hallway getting boys something so they will finally go the hell to bed. They are big now and I as long as they are in their beds by 9 p.m., nobody gets hurt.
